[SCRIPT] Fix partition table for Android 4.4


A more logical way is to go to "mounts and storage" / "mount /storage/sdcard0" rather than misusing "flash zip from sdcard" for mounting the card.
I guess there is a symlink /sdcard pointing to /storage/sdcard0; if not, you'll have to edit the script before running to get the path right.

Thanks guys, it worked well. Now I have restored my MIUI backup on system 1 and installed CM11 on system 2. It works fine.
 
Help guys, i think i totally screw up my phone.I flashed the fix partition script, just changed the numbers so i have bigger userdata partition.Everything changed accordingly.I also format sdcard through clockworkmod.After installing CM11 i realised that my sdcard was not able to r/w, i couldn't make a file and apps couldn''t download anything to sdcard.I had some warnings from titanium backup about su as i wrote in another post, don't know if it's related.I tried to flash miui stock with miflash but there was some kind of error related to a partition size.I have working fastboot and recovery but i don't have adb and of course cannot boot to CM11.What can i do?
 
1) connect your phone to PC via usb and boot into CWM or CM11.
2) on PC: "adb reboot dload" in a shell
3) MiFlash will recognize your phone as a COM-device now. Just flash the latest MIUI fastboot package.

After i enter "adb reboot dload" it's asking if i want to format several partitions if i want to use them.What should i do?
Edit: I flashed everything is ok, thanx a lot!!! I still wonder what was the problem, something wrong with the script or the fact that i formated sdcard from clockworkmod?Was it some kind of permission problem?Can it be fixed without more easily?

When you are in the recovery you've to mount /sdcard... You can do it just simply going in the file manager of the recovery( install zip-->choose zip from storage, stay in this page and then insert Micha's command ) or by mount option in recovery

It's all described in previous pages
 
There's some problem.
I got this error:
cazzo.png

Readed about the mounting sdcard but.. I can't.
In the recovery it tells me
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open/cache/recovery/last_install

And of course when I try to mount sdcard it tells me
Error mounting /storage/sdcard0!
Now I can't use my phone, doesn't boot.
Can anyone help me please? @M1cha

Run adb reboot dload from recovery, start miflash and it should detect device in Download mode so it can write partition table again. If this doesn't work you have to use qcom drivers to write partition table again

Hi there @M1cha @linuxx
I want to extend the size of "data" partition on System 1... What should I do? Also tell me why does your script start from "336MB" why not from 0???


Code: 
ui_print "parted: create"
    parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs primary ext2 336MB 1176MB || return 1
    parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs primary ext2 1176MB 2016MB || return 1
    parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs primary ext2 2016MB 2419MB || return 1
    parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs primary ext2 2419MB 5570MB || return 1

The userdata partition is only one (mounted at /data_root), inside that partition there are 2 folders called system1 and system2, if tdb is enabled the partition mounted as /data is not always system1 (as if tdb is disabled) but the one "right" for the system that u're using.
So if u want to extend data, you have to extend all data partitions

And how do I do that? I mean you said that "So if u want to extend data, you have to extend all data partitions?"

Note: I have TDB enabled!

Hi @linuxx @M1cha
I wanted to revert my Mi2s to the factory state after altering the partition sizes with your {repartition.sh} script, so I downloaded the latest FASTBOOT image and used miflash to flash it. It is true that I have successfully flashed the fastboot image, but the problem is, that the partition sizes have remained the same. I just want to increase the size of my data partition to 4 GB. I need it, please help me!

Do not worry, its because of fastboot packages.
Just format the partition that u made bigger (and now it looks as stock) from cwm, it will become as big as u decided :)
